Had a Landcruiser and the 4 studs broke doing Googs Track. Broke the suspension going to the NT as well.

We all make mistakes. I learnt from mine and have since bought Nissan Patrols.

(I've thrown out the bait - I'm waiting for the Toyota owners to bite).

Thanks for the info on the studs I will have to check them out, just something else to go wrong with the landcruiser
I can't wait to get home to get rid of the bloody thing, just an over priced over rated heap of rubbish I am embaressed to drive it.

HI,
Normally what happens here is that the problem lies in the workshop that has had the swivel hubs apart and not because it is a toyota. What happens is that most workshops pull them apart with rattle gun and when this happens the stud comes slightly loose and when it goes back together the stud does not get retightened. After driving over bumpy roads it slowly rattles them loose and then not good. Have seen this problem many times out in the bush and normally not good so my advice is if you have swivel hubs rebuilt check nut tension after doing a few kms.
I have worked at a toyota/nissan dealership in the one of the most remote parts of Australia and i still know what car i would rather drive. This problem has been with landcruisers for many models but it is not the manufacturers problem. Have fun

but they still go boom
